Which Cover Should I Pick?

I want a cover that not only is crowd-pleasing but also builds intrigue. If you’re in a coffee shop and you see someone reading a book with one of these covers, which one would make you want to learn more? Out of over 100 submissions, here are the four I like most:

1:

2:

3:

4:

After you’ve digested these, go here to vote, where you can also see six other finalists. You don’t need to rate each cover, but at least give your favorite cover five stars. I hope to decide by Sunday.

For those of you who already read the book, which cover do you think matches it best?

For full details on what's in the speech, the dates, and how to reserve your seat,

I think #4 goes best with the mood of the book. Plus it’s the most creative and intriguing.

Roosh Vörek? That’s just badass

I’m loving number 4

This might be the response that you wanted, but I liked one or more of the covers that were on the original project page that you had previously linked to. For various reasons, I don’t like these.

TrailTyme

1 for sure.

Francis

i vote for number 3 although number 4 is pretty appealing too. i just think it is little bit too much for a book like that. The cover of number 4 can only be good for comic book.

Carl Sagan

went with number 1

Klasik

It’s obviously #2. It looks like the title will just jump out and eat you.

#1 Just looks like all the maps of South America you’ve laready seen.

Giovonny

I like #2.

Is it possible to creat/offer the book in a few different covers? The buyer could choose which cover he wanted? I think I have seen a few different covers for “Think and Grow Rich”. Honestly, I think the title of the book could be more enticing, “A Dead Bat in Paraguay” doesn’t quite flow off the tongue in a smooth, seductive way. A re-naming contest would be interesting.

Nmber 4: Is that Roosh? Does Roosh only have one leg? Why is he jumping? Does Roosh wear skinny jeans? Why is Roosh wearing skinny jeans?? What is that thing around his neck?? Why is there a giant brown and red cloud of gas coming out of his backside??

#4 is the shit. It caught my eye instantly and intrigues. what went through my head is “what?” instant intrigue. The rest are good, but they are good good, not good/intriguing like #4 is.

#1 is good, no denying that. But #1 cover just shows: another nice travelling themes. #4 on the other hand, just pulls you the fuck in. It arrests your eyes. You cant quite look away. You want to see what it is about. What does the author mean by that? You dont get these kinds of feelings for the rest of them(even though they are all good).

#4, definitely. Your audience is younger men, you want to catch their eye, not look respectable.

Either 2 or 4 would work fine. I prefer 2 but I agree with Basil, 4 catches the eye more.

Mial

Man , I’ve just discovered your website and think it’s ingenius!! Pragmatic , practical approach to life ,which you can relate to. And witty writing. It’s even better than happybrainstorm and 30sleeps blogs ,which I like also ,but I have to admit that this site , while not having the most beautiful graphic layout , is the SHIT!

Gotta be 4, thats the kind of cover you have sitting on your coffee table and it instantly starts conversation.

Those are all pretty sick. Honestly, I would buy them all. Use them all for future editions. Damn. Look at those things.

anonymous

In order: 4, 3, 1, 2. 4 catches the eye for sure…but I can see why ppl would say it’s more of a comic book feel. 3 is also very good.

#4. I think the title will limit engagement. (ie. in a coffee shop even if I was intrigued by the cover, the title is a turn off.)

roissy

I like the vörek. is it pronounced “pussy-slayer”?
#1 could be mistaken for a geography textbook from across a room.
#2 has a cool retro feel, but hints at nothing in the book.
#3 is good, but a little too hipster watercolor-ish.
#4 is a graphic novel cover. good if you’re shooting for the 18 year old nerdboy demo.

very nice and artsy, but none of them sell the book

put your freaking name BIG, bigger than the title, betseller type. then add a cover with tits

Anything but number 4. The last one, while a nice design, doesn’t interest me enough to pick it up.

ericthemighty

read the book, 3

Easily number two is my favourite, with #3 being clear of the rest of them.

InterestedParty

Another vote for #3.

Supernaut

None of them are all that great with No. 3 being the best. Big improvement over previous ones though.

Supernaut

Vorek? Another good Iranian seeks to ethnically cleanse himself for the sake of pussy and a pat on the head.

Marmot

#1 is the best and most classic one IMO, but it runs a risk of being interpreted as a political memoir (ala George Bush crap) dealing with revolutions or whatever in South America. That’s why I also gave #2 the thumbs up.

I’m not a big fan of the “mysterious dark” covers like 3 and 4, though they’re probably ok.

^Supernaut: Vorek is Turkish surname, I think, but I’ve also seen it in Poland.

The one with the guy falling is the best cover, but the one with the bat has the best backside. I would suggest combining them (but changing the font on the backside).

Snoeperd

Use cover 4, it best fits your target demographic of men bored with life who a ready to jump down a building but instead will pick up your book.
1 is boring, 2 looks like a dirty harry movie intro and 3 is funny but undescriptive

TG

#3 definitely….

TG

Which reminds me…the original will most likely go up in value…now that there is a reprint…I’d rather have the OG copy than a new one…

dc

you;ve gone SWPL on us old boy

Saul Bellow

numero 3, son

Lumiere

I like 3

jewbaca

i would totally pass this book. Put a woman or something sexual for crying out loud.

Snoeperd

Actually jewbaca is right, just put a big cunt on it, literally./

Mandy! XD

Number 4 is brilliant.

hydrogonian

1. Doesn’t stand out as a book cover. On your webpage, it could be mistaken for a location map. And what’s with the grey lines? I assume they are to delineate the white space on the cover from the white on a webpage. Or, loosely interpreted, it could be water. The design would be okay for a bland textbook, but not one of your books.
2. Bad/horrible font. The font is too juvenile. Otherwise, I like this cover the best. Whatever font it is changed to, if any, make sure they do away with the heavy amount of drop shadow and the grunge effect (at least to a large degree). I think the designer was lazy and used these elements so that he could make a bad font and color choice stand out against the noisy background. poor design crutch.
3. Bad font. Way too casual of a font.
4. Unreadable font formatting. The image doesn’t correlate with book well. It puts a couple of concepts together, but not in a way that makes enough sense. As someone else said, it looks like a graphic novel. It doesn’t inspire me to buy as a shopper of the type of material contained in the book. I’d like to see this with less weathering effect on the background color. It might look a lot better without the heavy watermarks.

greenlander

I like 2 and 3.

number 4 or the last one.

*whiskey sighs*

of course you won’t pick either of those since this is coming from a chick.
